Workmate Labs

I’m excited to share that I started a company called Workmate. We’ve assembled an amazing founding team to build the Executive Assistant you deserve — powered by AI. Today, we’re opening up beta access to early users. My journey to founding Workmate Labs is personal. Despite leading AI products that helped billions connect on Facebook and Instagram, I had trouble solving the most personal connection of all — being present for my family at night. Night after night, I found myself in a meeting during the family time I wanted to protect. Or, delaying going to bed just to clear up the next day’s scheduling conflicts before it was too late. Often, the coordination cost of rescheduling a meeting led me to avoid moving things around, pushing higher priority work after dinner. It was a vicious cycle. Everything changed when I got promoted and started working with a great Executive Assistant. The transformation wasn't just to my calendar and inbox. It transformed both my life and my work. For me, having an Executive Assistant unlocked a new level of productivity and balance! I had tried every productivity and calendar tool out there, but nothing came close to having a human EA who truly understood my preferences and would proactively protect my time and think two steps ahead. Delegating all my scheduling meant more meetings planned on my terms and longer blocks of time to get focused work done during the day. Help with my inbox led to fewer distractions and dropped balls. I could have used this kind of support years earlier, long before I reached a position senior enough to have an EA. And I knew my team and countless others were stuck in the same trap. Perhaps you are too. Recent advances in LLMs and AI agents got me excited about the potential to not only replicate an EA's scheduling tasks but also their strategic thinking. All while being reliable 24/7/365. With the help of AI, having a dedicated assistant doesn’t need to be limited to those who can afford the $50k-$150k per year cost. Today, you can have your Workmate schedule meetings, manage your calendar, and proactively clear conflicts — leaving you free to focus on what matters most at work and in your life. And scheduling is just the beginning of the busywork we’ll tackle. We’re already working on email support, reminders about dropped balls, research, and more. We envision everyone having the support of a Workmate – on every team, at every company. If you’re interested in building everyone’s AI teammate, please reach out. We’re actively hiring for key roles.? To experience the impact that an Executive Assistant can have on your work and your life, check out the link in the comments or send me a message.
